Chapter 33: Miliсa

Miliсa could no longer say for sure how much time she had spent in Limbo. In her attempts to uncover the secrets of the Forbidden Zones and Limbo herself, she experienced many dangerous situations that almost cost her life. Due to her injuries, she repeatedly found herself on the verge of death, and numerous losses of consciousness confused her, making it difficult to understand the passage of time.

As a high elf, she was long-lived, and by the standards of her kind, she was still young and full of life. However, she was marred by only one thing — the inability to leave Limbo.

Over the years, her existence has half merged with Limbo. Then she discovered that Limbo has his own primitive consciousness, which follows special rules. It was only because of her strength that she hadnʼt completely assimilated into Limbo yet, and that angered him. Some of Limboʼs secrets leaked out, and the elf took possession of them.

Limbaʼs mind wanted to consume her, but it couldnʼt do it for no reason. As long as Milica didnʼt violate Limboʼs rules or as long as she was in a safe city, Limbo couldnʼt do anything against her.

This restriction deprived the Milica of the opportunity to independently seek a way out of Limbo. She could only hope and pin all her hopes on her students and subordinates.

Knowing that he couldnʼt absorb her, Limbo turned his attention to Milicaʼs students and subordinates. Through its associated local resident and city leader Hector, it manipulated other outsiders from other cities to attack and eliminate them. All these attempts were aimed at forcing the Milica to break the rules of Limbo or leave the city.

Over the years, Milica has lost many of her loyal followers and students in this city. She even thought about giving up and stopping looking for a way out. For many years, she refused to take students, until she met a young elf who was in Limbo. Because of her proximity to her race, she took her under her protection.

Milica did not succumb to Limboʼs provocations. As a result, they came to a truce. Limbo stopped attacking her students and subordinates, and Milica pledged not to leave the city and not share Limboʼs secrets with outsiders, including her students and subordinates. If she breaks these rules, Limbo will have every right to devour her.

Now Milica has only two students and a few loyal subordinates. She had recently taken Nemo, her last student, less than a month ago, so their relationship was shallow and not as strong as between her and Eulalia.

Nemo was full of mysteries. She had high hopes for him, believing that he would be able to find a way out of Limbo, as she had failed.

However, the appearance of the couple Idan and Arabel changed all her plans. Due to her connection with Limbo, she knew for sure that these two came from another world, and not from the outside, like other outsiders like her.

Realizing this, she immediately made the decision to take them under her protection from Limbo. Now that they were her charges, Limboʼs hands were tied because of the agreement between them, and he couldnʼt directly try to get to them.

Limbo could use locals like Hector to manipulate other outsiders to get to them. But they could handle it.

The most important thing was that now the Forbidden Zones wouldnʼt fiercely hunt the couple if they went to those zones in search of information.

”Mentor, why are you so sure that they came from another world?” Eulalia asked curiously, wanting to understand where her mentor got such confidence in this.

”Itʼs a secret,” Milica replied with a slight smile. ”Donʼt doubt me, little Eva, Iʼm absolutely sure that they really came from another world.”

Although Eulalia was not completely satisfied with the answer, she did not insist.

”I understand that you have a lot of questions, but we will discuss everything later. Go and mind your own business now, if you have any,” the Milica sent his charges about their business.

Nemo, having received permission, immediately left the office. Eulalia, after lingering a bit, also decided to follow his example. However, before she could reach the door, she heard her mentorʼs voice,

”Take care of them, little Eva. And as soon as they wake up, let me know. I want to talk to them personally.

”Okay, Mentor”, — Eulalia replied before leaving. She went to check on Idan and Arabelʼs condition, as requested by her mentor, and then went about her business.

Milica, left alone in her office, took out her personal diary and immersed herself in thoughts about the upcoming events that would inevitably come with the appearance of this couple in Limbo.

Meanwhile, Nemo had already left his mentorʼs house and was heading to the neighboring house, where he was allocated a small room. In addition to him, several other outsiders who were subordinates of the Milica lived in this house.

Upon reaching his room, Nemo dropped his bag next to the table, took off his sword and shield, and then got rid of the cloak that hid his body. Then he fastened the straps attached to his right arm, and with a thud, the metal prosthesis fell to the floor, leaving only his shoulder and elbow.

After that, he took off his mask and looked at himself in the mirror. The right side of his face was disfigured: his right ear and hair were missing, his right eye was completely white, and part of his cheek was missing, revealing his teeth.

Nemo stared at himself in the mirror for a while longer, until he was distracted by a spirit appearing in the room in the form of a white lump of light.

”Donʼt worry, Nemo. We will definitely find a way to heal your wounds. The most important thing right now is to find a way out of this place and figure out who you really are.”

A spirit named Izzy tried to comfort Nemo. She was connected to him and understood his feelings, so she was acutely aware of his mood.

Sighing, Nemo put the mask back on, unable to look at his ugly reflection anymore. Then he noticed the pendant that hung around his neck. Clutching it tightly, he tried to remember where he got this thing from. Nemo couldnʼt remember anything about the pendant, but he knew it was very important to him.

Milicaʼs words came back to him when she saw the pendant.:

”Who would have thought that you have such an amazing thing! Do you have any idea what that is? Oh, Iʼm sorry, I forgot for a moment that you donʼt remember your past. Remember, itʼs not just a pendant. You better not lose him. Inside this pendant is a piece of the soul of the person who gave it to you. Usually, representatives of the higher race give such things to their partners or husbands so that they can always know their location. If thatʼs the case, then whoever gave you this pendant is either your girlfriend or your wife.”

These words sank deep into Nemoʼs soul. He longed to find out who had given him this pendant, and he felt that this person was very dear to him. Even Izzy felt an inexplicable connection with the soul inside the pendant, the same as she felt with Nemo.

This indicated that the owner of this soul had a strong bond with both of them.
